testicle is being affected by the varicocele or if there's still pain and support doesn't help, a type of surgery called a varicocelectomy may be recommended. This is done by a urologist, a doctor who specializes in urinary and genital problems.

I've had a downward bend at the tip of my penis for as long as I can remember, probably because my foreskin is attached to the glans. I tried cutting it myself a few years ago and it helped a bit, but the bend still happens when I'm erect. I attached a picture so you can see. Is surgery the only fix for this or could daily stretching work? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery if possible

I'm dealing with some issues with my foreskin and I'm not really sure who the right doctor is to talk to about it. Should I be looking to see a dermatologist, a urologist, or maybe even a sexologist? I'm feeling a bit uncertain and could really use some advice on who might be the best specialist to consult for this kind of problem.

For foreskin problems, it's best to consult a urologist. They specialize in issues related to the urinary tract and male reproductive system, including foreskin concerns. If there are skin-related issues, a dermatologist may also be helpful. A sexologist is more suited for concerns related to sexual health and performance.
